Indications

Macrobid is indicated for the treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) caused by susceptible strains of Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Therapy with nitrofurantoin may be initiated before results of culture and susceptibility tests are known; therapy should be continued or altered, as appropriate, in accordance with results of the tests.

Macrobid is indicated for the prophylaxis of urinary tract infections after surgery or procedures involving genitourinary tract.

Macrobid is not indicated for the treatment of pyelonephritis or peri-nephric abscesses.
